Communication Problems As a Warning Sign

ARTHUR

Why do you have to go out with Tim and Cameron again without me?

TITO

Look, these are my friends—I like to spend time with them without you. We don’t have to do everything together. What’s wrong with that?

ARTHUR

I feel left out. You spend more time with them than you do with me.

TITO

That’s not true.

ARTHUR

It is.

TITO

Well, maybe if you weren’t so miserable all the time and screwed up all my fun I’d want to be with you.

ARTHUR

What? Since when is this?

TITO

Like you didn’t know, you scumbag.

ARTHUR

No, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

TITO

I’m going out. See you later.

ARTHUR

Don’t go anywhere. You’re throwing bullshit at me again. Who are you fucking now?

TITO

After that little fuck fest with your co-worker Mickey … that I only found out because of Rachael. I think you got some nerve.

ARTHUR

I don’t have anything to say about that.

TITO

Fine. I’m out of here. See you later.

ARTHUR

You need to talk to me about spending all of this time out of the house.

TITO

I’m not talking to you.

ARTHUR

You’re selfish and mean. You’re such an uncaring fuck.

TITO

You should talk. It’s always about you. Everything is always about you. Fuck you.

ARTHUR

Fuck you too.

TITO

God give me some peace from this motherfucker.

ARTHUR

You started all of this tonight. Everything would be fine if you cared a little more about our relationship. You create all the problems and then blame everything on me.

TITO

Maybe if you weren’t such a miserable prick I’d care more.

ARTHUR

Do you know how bad this makes me feel when you talk to me like this?

TITO

I don’t care how you feel anymore.
